Noel Gallagher Confirms Oasis Knebworth Documentary Is On It's Way
Noel Gallagher has confirmed to Zoe Ball on BBC Radio 2 this morning the release of a documentary about Oasis' landmark concerts at Knebworth in 1996.
He told her "There’s a lot of stories in the press about it being a film company for a biopic, which of course it’s not".
He added "The gig Oasis did at Knebworth is 25 in August and back in 1997 we’d filmed it all really professionally with loads of cameras, we had cameras on the trains with fans. But for one reason or another, the film never came out but as it’s the anniversary coming up, we’re going to be releasing it now. I’ve seen a tiny trailer of it and it’s a fantastic snapshot of a bygone era before the internet. It’s great, really great."
